I have a 45lb Saber takedown recurve bow at 63in. unstrung and strung it is 62.5in.. Would I go 60, 62, or 64 AMO?

if your recurve is 63" UNstrug you should in theory go with the 60" string. strings for recurves are generally supposed to be 3.5"-4" shorter than the unstrung bow length from nock to nock. you have a some-what unusual bow length, much like my fiber glass flat bow which I find it hard to locate strings for. you theoretically need a string 59" long. you may want to do what eventually did and find some vids on youtube for making strings and then you just buy the Dacron b 50 and make it whatever length you need.

Ok so I don't have it stock anymore. I put a Leupold Crossbones on it instead of the luminated no brand that it came with. The other was fine I just have older eyes and prefer Leupold. I also installed limbsavers and updated to an Alpine quiver that holds 6 arrows instead of 3. All of that may or may not have added to its weight. Mine weighs in at 11.8 #. I bought the Primos trigger stick 2 and that solved the weight issue. Don't let the weight scare you away, this is an amazingly fast and accurate bow. I carry it with a threepoint AR-15 sling which hangs it in front and to my left side for quick target acquisition and so that I can watch my limbs and cables as I go through the brush. Hope this helped.

I don't have a recurve but most likely... It is a much larger case than expected and think for something as compact as a recurve(especially with detachable limbs) I would look for something much smaller. I bought it for a Mathews ZXT with parallel limbs and there is a TON of extra, unused space. Just my 2 cents!

Correction: The string is 60" for my 64" (notch to notch unstrung bow). Rule of thumb 4" shorter than bow. The string is labeled for the length of the bow on the package. My glass re-curve bow is a 40# draw. So you order for the bow length and the string should arrive automatically 4" shorter.

I'm not real sure what you are asking. I am using a recurve bow with a 25 pound pull with 28 inch arrow. I am not very strong either and having no trouble with the 25 pound pull. I hope this helps you.

You have to pick the length to add it to your cart. 54" is listed. The number of strands should be matched to the draw weight. I'm no expert but both the 14 and 16 strand strings work fine on my 50# draw bear recurve.

I dont believe so . I pretty sure it can handle 29 .I'm not an expert and haven't had this bow long but I dont think the 28in draw is the same as a compound bow .... more like 45lb at 28in if that makes sense to ya... that being said I wouldn't risk going much over 28 but 29 should be fine again not an expert though

This bow is for all ages. It is my wifes primary bow. The draw length will go up to 30" and the draw weight will go up to 70 lbs. If you are starting out this is great because you can start at a low draw weight and slowly work your way up. Without having to get a new bow.

Probably should'nt go over a 20-25 lb draw. You can always go up as strength develops, but proper form is very improtant when using a recurve.

AMO string length of 62" is a true length of 58". A measurement of string notch to string notch in an unstrung bow will give you a "pretty dang close" number to start with if you have no AMO lenght listed. 4" actual length shorter than AMO length is good fog recurve, longbow is around 3" less. Base height may be listed as well ( distance from string to deepest recess in grip while strung ) will help dial it in.

I had a 30lb recurve that was best served with a different target. I currently have a 40lb that I use with a foam target box.

I didn't know, so I chose the medium one, as what most people do when cannot decide; but it fit my bow perfectly. I have a Martin saber takedown recurve, 64" in length, using 28"arrow

These can take up to 47lbs (since it is 1820), I have 40-45lbs @ 28" English Longbow and these arrows perform very well (I replaced the plastic fletching into feathers though.)

I am probably not going to be much help here. The size I believe goes with the size of the arrow shaft. I bought this item for my wife and I just made a guess at which one she needed. I went with medium. I know trophy ridge has a website with size you would need for the arrows you use. Again I know that wasn't much help, sorry.

No, you need a larger bow. Try to find a 70 inch bow. You may have to upgrade a bit to find one. As Tim told you, a Mohegan comes in 68 but I would try to find a 70". Try landcaster.com, they have them. You can chat with them online. They have all price ranges.

I hadn't done much archery before and I started with 35lbs; I think 30lbs is a good place to start, maybe 20-25 if you're not overly athletic.
